I currently take almost all of the supplements that you were discussing and I was wondering if you thought there was a difference between the quality in brand names. I was diagnosed five years ago and curently take avonex. I have had one bad flare up in that time and feel I am in pretty good health otherwise.I am always looking for ways to be just a little more aware of how to make my health even better, so thank you again.

I have dealt with it with nutritional supplements and diet. I have been a vegetarian since I was diagnosed to rid my body of chemicals in the meat. I do eat salmon and since getting your information have been trying to eat small amounts of meat again. although difficult. I have been taking Reliv for many years and love the product. It is a powder multi vitamin shake. I also take the supplements you have talked about. Most recently I started Protandim, which was suggested by my chiropractor as an anti-oxidant especially for MS. My MS has started me on the compound called 4-aminopyridine . I take two 5mg capsules a day. In truth I am very confused at this point. I have arthritis in my knee and am trying to do supplements for that too. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I feel I am taking everything and have no guidance on what I am doing with all this. thank you for all your help. Evelyn Blasi I’ve had MS since 1994.

What should I do? My MS has been pretty well under control until the last 2 months, and now I am struggling with increasing foot drop type symptoms, hand numbness and some balance issues.

I now have a question for my Naturopath about increasing D3, unless it is in something else of the supplements that I am taking with his guidance. I was reaching the point of constant back spasms,heaadache, and leg numbness. The only symptoms that I currently have is cloudiness in one eye, which has improved from where I started out, and occasional stiffness/spasticity in my neck, sometimes with a headache, but not always. Seems to happen when I stray from diet guidlines and more stressful situations. But overall, I am so much better than I was prior to my early retirement, and I can tolerate this level of occasional misstep and get back on track. I do not use any type of pain relievers, only the supplements and dietary guidlines with other changes as set forth by the Naturopath.
